Answer:
Under a special microscope, the chromosomes can look like a continuous string of beads. Each long string of DNA winds around structural protein spools called 'histones' to form a material called 'chromatin'. The chromatin further loops and coils to form the tightly condensed chromosome structure.

Answer:
- Genes are genetic building blocks.
- Chromatin is a lower order packing form of DNA
- Chromosomes are a higher order packing form with tight condensed structures.
Explanation:
1) Gene:-
- The fundamental component of heredity in a living organism is a gene.
- Genes determine every aspect of a living thing's character.
- Genes provide the information needed to develop and maintain an organism's cells, as well as transmit genetic features onto progeny.
- A gene is currently understood to be "a locatable portion of the genomic sequence, corresponding to a unit of heredity, which is associated with regulatory regions, transcribed regions, and/or other functional sequence sections."
2) Chromatin:-
- The chromosome in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells is made up of chromatin, a complex DNA and protein molecule.
- In meiosis and mitosis, it is often condensed into chromosomes and is scattered throughout the interphase nucleus.
3) Chromosomes:-
- The DNA molecule is bundled into thread-like structures known as chromosomes in the nucleus of each cell.
- It has genetic material that carries genetic information that is encoded and passed down from parents to an progeny.
